Scottish Distillery Claims to Make World's Strongest Gin

The previous record holder was a 76% ABV gin made by a small distillery in Sweden. This new Scottish variety that is just 1% more was launched at a gin festival earlier this month in the UK, and only 101 bottles were made available for purchase. Other spirits in the distillery’s portfolio includes a rhubarb-flavored Old Tom gin and a variety of whiskeys.

Ryan Rhodes, a brand ambassador for Twin River, said to The Drinks Business: “By developing Uncut, we really wanted to push the boundaries – but obviously ask people to enjoy it sensibly. You have to appreciate that most gins are 40-50% ABV so care must be taken when drinking this spirit and a small amount definitely goes a long way.”

Twin Rivers suggests serving the gin over ice with a twist of lemon. We imagine something this strong would be nice mixed in a cocktail as well.
